sent a PM, thanks for the advice! I've read that using older exhaust manifolds (pre 2000, from 0630) work fine on 2000+ heads (0331), just not the other way around - which is what I'm looking for. I'd just like to have some way to connect 2000 downstream exhaust to pre-2000 exhaust manifold...

Yes that's the alternative. It basically just covers part of the exhaust port on the head to match the manifold. I was hoping to use a manifold that matches the larger exhaust ports somehow The reply I got back from banks is

I've sent them an email... I can't imagine it'll be cheap either, especially in CAD...

A banks header for a 2000 XJ will fit the ports on a 0630 head?

That is an option that I have read in a few places... I'm just trying to imagine how I can bring that all into a shop and have it done accurately when it's not on the vehicle

Hi Everybody, Sorry to beat a dead horse here, but I need a little help with my engine swap. I have a federal emissions 2000 XJ (NO pre cats) with a blown engine - 0331 head. I have a 97 4.0L ready to go with a 0630 head. I would just like some advice with the exhaust setup... I know I can...

Hi, I'm on a trip down to Colorado from Canada. I started this trip with low oil pressure from a recent dunking my jeep took. I've been planning on replacing my engine when I get home On the drive down, I'm going through about 3L of oil every fill up, and have come to the conclusion that I...

Excellent, thanks for the help!

What do you mean by 'newer rotors'? As in WJ rotors?

Shoot, I should've mentioned that the axle is a HP D30 from a '98 XJ :S

Hi everyone, I have a 2001 XJ with ~5" of lift or so. The wheel bearing are shot on the front D30, and I know some point in the future I'd like to do the Clayton High Steer kit (WJ brake upgrade). With this in mind, I (somewhat stupidly) bought TJ wheel bearings - ha597449, thinking that I...

I've been using 4.88's in my D30, with aussie locker for the last ~2 years with no problems yet. I've done a decent amount of trails as well, no problems yet

So it ends up, I believe my SYE is actually a PORC SYE. I pulled the seal tonight and the only numbers on it are TTO F494 1. After some googling, I came across this on the 4wd forums if anyone needs it for future PORC SYE reference:

The driveline shop here in town had a yoke for me for a reasonable price so I'm not too concerned about that anymore. I just need to get that seal out and replaced

Thanks for the input joe. It looks like I will have to pull the seal to know for sure what the correct one is... Can this be done from the outside of the tcase?
